Magnetic exploration of technical and archaeological objects
Application:
monitoring of the condition of underground technical systems (pipelines, heating mains);
search for underground foundations, buried ditches, trenches, wells, metal structures;
archaeological research.
The essence of the development: the detection and delineation of underground objects that differ from the host geological environment by magnetic properties is carried out using magnetic survey by a high-sensitivity proton magnetometer Geometrics G-857 applying a special technique.
Magnetic exploration allows obtaining information concerning underground technical and subsurface archaeological sites in the form of magnetic anomalies caused by the heterogeneity of iron oxides. Magnetic micro-survey reveals iron objects, slags from furnaces, brick buildings, garbage pits and other archeological artifacts lying at shallow depths
